Oh damn, I was thinking it was Luke McCown time again, but apparently he moved on from Jacksonville. I love seeing former QBs for the Browns end up playing elsewhere. Unless it's Bruce Gradkowski, quick-snapping the Browns for a TD. Seriously, how do you get quick snapped in the NFL?

There's just such a rich history of failure in Cleveland's QB corps, that it's always a wonder why other teams decide they need this guy. Why did the Vikings take on Spurgon Wynn and eventually give him starts, when the only notable thing about him was that he was the last QB taken before Tom Brady in the 2000 draft? Did people pay Josh Booty just because his name was funny? Why did the Broncos trade a serviceable running back for Brady Quinn? Why do teams keep signing Bruce Gradkowski?

/Luke is apparently now backing up Ryan in ATL, so will likely never see the field.//McCown, Gradkowski, Josh Booty, Spurgon Wynn, Brady Quinn, Derek Anderson and Kelly Holcomb have all started games for teams other than the Browns.///None of them should have. Especially Spurgon. Who was probably the worst QB I've seen in the NFL.

ole prophet:El Brujo: So, as a guy that drafted Blackmon in FF and still have him, is he awful because of Gabbert or because he sucks?

Was keeping him to see if he develops but half a season in and he's somehow getting worse.

Yes to the Gabbert part, but Henne isn't any better. Blackmon is a wasted talent right now and should probably be dropped. He may have a few TDs this year, but nothing you will miss.

I drafted him thinking I could replicate the success I had in drafting Green from the bengals last year. Maybe Gabbert got better and an explosive rookie was all he needed. I will be the first to admit that I was dead wrong.

I'll give teams like Green Bay and the Giants a pass, since their QBs are great at what they do and rarely get dinged up. But it seems absurd for teams with shoddy QB play to run that risk, especially Chicago.

Chalk it up to the roster limits. You can put another player into your defensive rotation if you go with 2 QBs. I know that was a factor for the Cowboys this year - they figured they'd rather have a shot at rotating in a useful body on special teams or defense than trying to salvage a season in which Tony Romo and Kyle Orton go down.

To be fair to Chicago though they have like 1.5 starting QBs with Campbell as the backup.

It's because there is a persistent complaint about the Browns that they give up on QBs too quickly.
